A quick and simple dessert featuring caramelized baked peaches paired with a creamy homemade vanilla mascarpone, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large fresh peaches, ripe but firm
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and dry the peaches, then slice each peach in half and carefully remove the pit. Quarter if very large.
  3. Arrange the peaches cut-side up in an oven-safe baking dish, leaving space between them.
  4. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and lemon juice until sugar dissolves.
  5. Brush or spoon the butter mixture generously over the peach halves.
  6. Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the peaches if using.
  7. Bake the peaches for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized, watching closely in the last 5 minutes to avoid burning.
  8. While baking, whisk together mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  9. Remove peaches from oven and let cool slightly.
  10. Serve warm peaches topped with a dollop of vanilla mascarpone and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Notes

If peaches are firmer, add an extra 5 minutes baking time. Watch sugar caramelization closely to prevent burning. For dairy-free, substitute mascarpone with whipped coconut cream and vanilla. Peaches can be swapped with nectarines or plums if out of season.
